Lyrics
[Intro] Alright, well. I had a tracked version of this that was all ready to master, and then it turned out there was a mysterious seven-and-a-half-second gap in the other one. All hail the mysterious gap! [Verse 1] Go through the motions Every day out in the square Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth Look for a beacon from the North Protect yourself Vouch for every member of the team This is just a momentary ripple in the stream [Verse 2] Join in the rebuilding Sing loudly at your labor Make friends with the new guys Be nice to your neighbor Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state Taste everything they feed you Say it tastes real great Spit it down your sleeve Every time you get the chance This is just a brief improvisation in the dance [Bridge] Raise up the columns Take the statues down Praise the columns Spread the word around town [Verse 3] Behold the temple where the old one stood Is it not a thing of beauty Don't it make you feel good? Is it not a big improvement on the way things used to be? Is it not a stately beacon for the whole world to see? We will be right here On the day it finally burns Everybody hold a spot Until Olympius returns Yeah!
